1 Deception Pass State Park A monthly newsletter for this park s friends and neighbors from the desk of the park manager Top Ten Countdown for 2015 The annual countdown listing of my top ten stories at Deception Pass for 2015: 8. Quarry Pond connector trail Four years in permitting, the trail connecting Goose Rock with Cornet Bay Road was stymied by a hundred foot stretch of wetland needing a simple log bridge. With permits in hand, it took SWITMO just a few hours to install the bridge and finish this important connection. 10. Fire ban/lake closures June the earliest fire ban ever at Deception Pass, one that lasted into late September. And then the double whammy of closing Cranberry Lake a few weeks later because of toxic cyanobacteria, a closure that lasted the rest of summer and into fall as well did not make us a popular place for swimming or s'mores! 9. Volunteers busy as beavers Eleven thousand hours of service by many individuals and many more groups large and small. Our volunteers mapped noxious weeds, cut weeds, picked up blow downs, cut trees off trails, built picnic tables, fixed heating systems, built trails, taught classes, created displays, painted restrooms, helped campers, cleaned campsites, cleaned boat launches, built bridges, and yes, picked up litter Improved cabins for rental The sixty year old cabins at the retreat center have lived a good life. Who knew that simple touch ups on two of them could transform the cabins into desirable and marketable lodging? Well, park and region staff knew, I guess, because that's what they did. Come enjoy them by spending a night or two here! 6. Cornet Bay Beach The southwest stretch of the beach looks and feels like a beach again, a small but significant step in the restoration of all of Cornet Bay to be people friendly and wildlife friendly as well.
2 5. Bowman Bay Holiday A simple idea that transformed into an exciting and popular event that will definitely be repeated and expanded in coming years! Thanks to the help of so many and the beauty of Bowman Bay, hundreds of people enjoyed a festive evening in the park. 4. In-depth classes It started with a walk at Dugualla State Park with a couple forest ecologists to strategize how best to improve the health of the forest there. Then the Foundation offered highly-regarded classes in photography and forest health. This is a new direction for the Foundation, and one that brought many positive experiences for participants. Look for more in the coming years as we seek to open up more opportunities for learning in this majestic environment. 3. Shelters re-roofed Seeing three more buildings with authentic CCC-style roofs tickles me daily. Not only are they appropriate as historical refurbishings, they are also adding another fifty years to the life of the buildings with structural soundness and a weather tight seal. 2. Tursi trail Fifty years as an idea, and now becoming a reality. The trail has been built on the park side of the partnership, leading from Pass Lake to the old Ginnett homestead and beyond to the northern boundary of the park, where in the coming weeks it will connect with Donnell Road and from there to Mt. Erie and the ACFL. There will be a grand opening ribbon cutting when the final trail connects with the park this winter. And my number one 1. Bowman Bay No surprise to those of you who know me, my life-long history with this park, my love of beaches, and my quest for beach restoration wherever needed and possible. To have Bowman in the process of becoming fully natural again, a continuous stretch of shoreline with driftwood, beach grasses, and native upland plants behind fills my heart with joy. It will be many months and years before the beach is fully functioning, and before the middle looks like the beaches on either end, but the process has begun. The beach has been reborn! Coming up in 2016: Sewer improvements: It's not sexy. It's three phases of sewer work. Excited to read more? No, probably not. But our sewer system is critical for keeping the park open. Almost every drop of sewer that we gather south of the bridge goes to one small gathering point in the park, and from there it is pumped to the Navy base where it receives tertiary treatment, the best possible treatment. There are some problems in the system, however. First is the Quarry Pond campground, which is still on a failing septic field. This spring we hope to connect the campground to this pumped system to treat that effluent as well. Secondly, our pumps are undersized and aging quickly. They cannot keep up with the peak demands placed on them, and their storage capacity is virtually nil, creating a huge problem if we lose power for even a few minutes which happens around here. And our pumps at North Beach do not have the power to pump poop up the hill to the system when the beach area is busy, which it is every weekend in summer, and all week when the fish are coming by. This work is funded through a capital grant for infrastructure in State Parks. Cabins: Look for five cabins to pop up this spring in the Quarry Pond campground, in existing sites. And there is the possibility of a couple more cabins, deluxe cabins, possibly in the East Cranberry area. 2
3 Non-story of the year: Nightly Bridge Closures I was appalled when I first heard plans to repave the bridge in the middle of the summer. "You can't close the bridge for ten hours a day for a whole week," I said ominously in planning meetings, "without serious consequences." Well, it turns out you can, if you plan ahead and share the message with everyone who needs to know. We must have done well, because only a handful of people were turned away on the first evening of closure, and fewer on the subsequent evenings. The paving work was done quickly, efficiently, and effectively by our local Lakeside Industries. This was the story that never happened. And I am glad this story never happened. More Park Projects Underway: Renovation work got underway this past week on one of our oldest 'modern' restrooms in the park. Built in the Seventies, our restroom in the Forest loop of the Cranberry Campground needed help. A Northwest Region crew from Washington State Parks is modernizing the restroom with tiled showers, new fixtures, and improved circulation through the building. It doesn't look pretty right now, with all the work going on, but it will be a far more attractive -- can you use that word for a restroom? -- welcoming and pleasant facility for those in need. Upcoming Park events: April 2: Marathon and half marathon in Park State Parks Free Days The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission offers 12 free days each year when visitors are not required to display a Discover Pass for a day visit to a park. We hope you will take advantage of a State Parks free day to get out and sample a new park or revisit an old favorite, then consider supporting state recreation lands by purchasing a Discover Pass. The Discover Pass provides a whole year of vehicle access to millions of acres of parks, trails, water access sites and wildlife viewing areas on state-managed recreation lands. Free days for 2016: January 1 (Friday) New Year s Day and State Parks First Day Hikes Day January 17 and 18 (Sunday and Monday) Martin Luther King Jr. Day March 19 (Saturday) Washington State Parks 103rd birthday March 26 (Saturday) A springtime free Saturday April 22 (Friday) Earth Day May 8 (Sunday) A springtime free Sunday June 4 (Saturday) National Trails Day June 11 (Saturday) National Get Outdoors Day Aug. 25 (Thursday) National Park Service s 100th birthday Sept. 24 (Saturday) National Public Lands Day Nov. 11 (Friday) Veterans Day April 16: Whidbey Island Marathon and half marathon start in park, end in Oak Harbor April 23: Plant Bowman Bay! March, 2025: Deception Pass State Park s 100th birthday. 3
4 A Bowman Bay Holiday It began as a desire to light up the bridge with holiday lights for a day or two. The state DOT did not like that idea, so we morphed into ideas about crafts for kids, and then lighting up a shelter, and then all the buildings at Bowman, and then adding a Santa Claus, and then giving businesses and service clubs a chance to share as well, and before we knew it, we had a celebration planned for Bowman Bay that was worth every minute of the hours of preparation that went into it. The Deception Pass Park Foundation found donations of lights, cookies, and cocoa and coffee, and put in dozens of hours of work creating garlands, craft projects, and decorating the buildings and walkways of Bowman Bay. As this was the first one, we had no idea if anyone would come. But that was not a problem: well over 700 people came to Bowman Bay on Saturday, December 19, to enjoy the spectacle of the lights, Santa lights up the face of a child the community of gathering together in the holiday season, the activities of the crafts, the warmth of drinks and snacks and the fireplace and stoves, and to spend time on Santa's lap. One of the Bowman shelters lit up for the evening. There were even commemorative tree ornaments that the Foundation gave to those who visited the information booth in the shelter. Unfortunately we ran out of snacks and craft materials long before the end of the evening because of the popularity of the event. Next year we will have more. And the line for Santa was many deep for much of the evening. One child gave Santa a letter to take back to his workshop, and another gave him a nice little gift! A special shout out to Paul Tunstell as Santa, to Foundation members Estelle Johnson, Barb Shaw, Rick Colombo, Matt Klope, and Liz Merriman for their hard work in preparing the many elements, to several others who assisted on the day of the event, and to Montana Napier and Amos Alny for their creative work and sweat labor as well. And our heart-felt thanks to Anacortes Candles, Deception Pass Tours, and Oak Harbor Habitat for Humanity for their displays, games, and activities in the campground. And a special thanks to Anacortes Kayak Tours for the gifts of two kayak tours for visitors. It was an evening to cherish. I was totally enthralled with the experience, and can't wait for next year's event. 4
5 The Fifth Annual First Day Hike Hoypus Glistens On New Year s The walk was a mile in each direction, mostly level and wide open, with framed views of the bridge in places, and even a chance to get up close and personal with a Douglas fir tree that blew down last week across the trail. Many had never been out to Hoypus, and were surprised by how friendly and rewarding an experience it could be. Some of our hikers came from as far away as Edmonds and Marysville. One was from Idaho even, visiting family here. This is a tradition that is bringing people together year after year. This is the fifth year that we have hosted a First Day Hike. And a handful of people have been on all five! Here is a list of the hikes we have made so far on New Year's Day: Some of the intrepid hikers near the end of the trail at Hoypus. Photo by Dave Wenning New Year s Day, A great day to get outside and hike, yes?! Over 175 (! )of us got up early enough to gather at Cornet Bay and hike out to Hoypus Point together on a cold but crystal-clear day. When others were still choosing to sleep in or thinking about their New Year's resolutions, we were already enjoying the day and stretching the legs. Mt. Baker put on a show for the end of the trail, and the Deception Pass Park Foundation put on coffee and hot chocolate to warm our insides. Commemorative pins were given to most of the hikers. 2012: Lighthouse Point 2013: Rosario Head from Bowman Bay 2014: North Beach and Goose Rock 2015: Pass Lake and the Ginnett overlook 2016: Hoypus Point An old growth fir tree becomes part of the hike. A special thanks to Estelle Johnson and Rick Colombo of the Foundation for their support in planning and for being there on a cold day; to AmeriCorps interpreter Montana Napier for sharing historical photos along the hike; and to Paul Tunstell for getting the power going after we blew the breaker and could not figure out how to unlock the power panel! Next year's hike will be to well, where would you like to go next year? There are so many places to enjoy at this park, even in the dead of winter. The end of the trail, with Mt. Baker putting on a show. 5
6 Calling All Future Beach Naturalists! Do you like tide pools, enjoy being on the beach, and are passionate about marine education? Consider becoming a Rosario Beach Naturalist! Training starts in March. More information will be posted on the Foundation website soon and in next month s Current. The Beach Naturalist program is designed to educate volunteers about Deception Pass State Park s Rosario Beach Tide Pools. There are four class sessions and one field trip. The classes bring in local experts to teach about topics varying from intertidal invertebrates, marine mammals, coastal processes, and more. Once volunteers complete the training they are ready to act as stewards at the Tide Pools at Rosario. Volunteers will get the chance to teach and work with school groups and park visitors throughout the spring and summer.

7 Readers Share By Montana Napier, AmeriCorps Interpreter There was an interesting pattern in this month s social media about the Park. I am surprised by the popularity of our posts about trees! Specifically, the Pacific madrone and Douglas fir. My conclusion: we love trees! In case you missed them, here are the two posts shared, commented on, and loved the most. One of our visitors, Martie, pointed out the beauty of this 850 year old Douglas fir by West Beach. You can go see it yourself via the Sand Dunes Interpretive Trail. Here is what she had to say: "One gnarly old dude. The trail is lined with trees full of Old Man Beard and witches hair lichen. Eerie. Peaceful and quiet." Pacific Madrone Feels twisted. Leaves leathery. Trunk is broad and spiraling. Bark peels away like tissue paper. Insects crawl. Birds nest. Berries taste of cotton - roots grip rocky outcrops and dry bluffs. Drops litter year round: bark, leaves, flowers and berries. Once again, thank you for being a part of our online community! Whether it is through the Current or Deception Pass Park Foundation on Facebook, your feedback is important. You give us ideas for future programs, and let the Park know what matters most to you.

8 Coming Community Events Tuesday, January 26, 5:45 p.m., Anacortes Senior Center Seventh Generation Supper and Transition's Annual Meeting Carol MacIlroy of The Skagit Climate Science Consortium (SC2) will share the results of a public poll on climate information. SC2 and the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication partnered to conduct a public opinion poll in the spring of 2015 regarding Skagit County residents attitudes and perceptions regarding global warming. The effort provided SC2 critical information to help understand local concerns and beliefs about climate change, in order to better provide relevant and timely climate science to the Skagit community. This presentation will provide an overview of SC2 s theory of change regarding the role of climate science in supporting local communities as they seek to increase their climate resilience, and show the results of the polling, which confirm both the need for and interest in climate information. In addition to our presentation, we'll have the official annual meeting of Transition Fidalgo and Friends. Open to all and welcome; no reservations needed. Suggested supper donation (catered by Gere-a-Deli) $5/adult; $3/10 and under. Please bring your own place settings. Friends of Skagit Beaches 2016 Lecture Series January 15, 7-8:30 p.m. Northwest Educational Service District Building Climate Change Science in Haiku In 2014 the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a major report that is more than 2000 pages and a daunting read even for experts. Dr. Johnson has distilled the entire report into 19 illustrated haiku. Although his result is a work of art, it provides powerful talking points and a visual guide to assist our understanding of the important information in this document. These lectures are free and open to the public. Sponsored by Friends of Skagit Beaches. For more information contact Matt Kerschbaum or at Cherrytree2@comcast.net Seventh Generation Suppers include a sharing time and programs to help build local resilience and reduce carbon dependency. 8
